The problem with Democratic Party is that no one takes them seriously because they don’t take themselves seriously.
You can’t simultaneously argue Trump is a fascist intent on destroying democracy but your major response is to wear a pink suit to a speech, and expect to be taken seriously.

First we will destroy the republicans then we’ll come for the wishywashy Democrats!!!! Meet me at the polls!!! 🗳️
Short of an actual civil war or a military uprising I don't see anything changing and the slide will continue.

Pink is, she said, “the color of women’s power, of persistence and of resistance.”

All this McResistance is performative for a reason
They are in on it
We the ppl have to take care of this ourselves
Is … drumrolllll
The RNC
I Dunno if it can be found now, but soon as they came in.. the DNC began to pivot to the right. I suspect that happened this election too
I’ll post it if I find it again
Google sucks
It has two factions
Bit they agree on most things
Just one pretends not to
If Dems were really a different party
We would have Medicare for all
But some of the of their biggest donors are BCBS and UHC
Biden said, “don’t send the Medicare for all Bill, if you do, I will veto it”
Biden and Kamala and many Dems and Repubs got big donations from UHC and BCBS to sabotage M4All
They have the same donors
Broke: Pussysuit
(Before folks reply: no, I'm not interested in posts claiming there's a Democrat factory and all these folks have identical tactical reasoning.)
Not a good response by any means, treating the con man as legitimate, but a bad position is different from an outright inconsistent one.
guys. you are *killing* us here.
At this point, the only thing that could stop the authoritarian takeover of the country would be a revolt by, say, 25% of Republicans.
Yeats nailed it.
The time for civil disobedience is now. Take risks. Get the media attention!
Dems are getting smoked embarrassingly in the publicity and marketing departments by MAGA!
Pathetic. It was about as inspiring as a wet fart.
They should’ve protested to the extent where they’d all been forcefully dragged out…
The best the Dems have rn is 77 yr old Al Green and 83 yr old Bernie.
Come on now. I know people are fired up. Mobilize it. Seize the moment, Dems. Now is NOT the time to play possum.
They could’ve taken turns protesting and being dragged out so the entirety of his lie-filled speech was disrupted. Unfurl a message before you’re taken away.
Turn your backs, put on headphones.
Anything would’ve been better than that pink and paddles nonsense.
GGs Dems.
The politicians are not going to save us. Either we do it or no one will.
Congratulations for saying what a dozen people already said. They can swing canes and yell all they want. It's not just that it's performative -- it's that few people will see it other than the already-engaged.
That theatrical shit is great, but it wouldn't save us. Who's going to save us, Kevin? Any Idea?
Al Green.
I realize that every act matters, and a movement is cumulative, but the whole Democratic caucus from both houses could have waved canes and yelled, and it would hardly make a difference.
We're now enjoying our own version of FO, are we.

Because they are naive, respectful, not stupid and now we have treason and sedition
Run for office and show them how it's done instead of Monday morning QB-ing?
